Why does grieving always hurt so much?

it was a break in my reality. i could not function. I lost 30 lbs. I could not get out of bed. I just couldn't believe she was gone. to this day, when i think that i will never see her again, i get depressed

Because grief is love with nowhere to go. You okay, Kat?

So....I'm studying grieving....Generally, it's associated with someone's death, but my grieving is over the demise of my beloved wife. She's still with me. The call it "artificial grieving...." which is kind of insulting. But....there are various stages of grieving that don't follow any particular order. If you'd care too, you can google stages of grieving and see what I mean. One famous person said that given a choice of grieving or nothing, he'd take grieving. I would prefer nothing....

It sure does! When my brother died the pain was unbearable, emotionally and physically. 🤗

Because when someone leaves, you're reminded of your own essence and feeling the distance between your identity self and your essential self. If you can know life is eternal and that there's never any separateness, you wouldn't grieve. But when you attach the love you have for someone with things of this time/space reality, you feel grief when those things you shared with that person are withdrawn.

Price of Attachment!

Because it is a loss

There's a time to grieve, and it's right that you do.
But there's also a time to pack things away and nice on, and that's even more important

It's a painful reminder of what they meant to you and how much losing them hurts.

Cause feeling it is the way you know you still have a heart and feelings it is when you stop feeling grief is when you should worry

It.. always does... couldn't tell you why, just could be there as much as I can

Still hurts here . I don't consider her a loss anymore neither I miss her . It is just a streak of sadness inside my heart ready to go away

because it's the yang to the yin of love, and the price we pay for it

I wish I had an answer for you. All I can do is offer my sympathy and condolences.

My thoughts go out to you. ❤️🌹

I've only been gone for a day and you're already losing your mind .....🙄

Grief is love persisting.

Because we have feelings.

emotions.

Something so deeply embedded into your emotions cannot be easily extracted. It's like trying to remove the foundations of your house while the house is still standing. You have to expect that the impact will be major. Time eases the pain, but unfortunately there are no shortcuts. You just have to go through it.

Yes sorry

It’s the permanence of it all knowing it’s never going to be as it was.

I am sorry you are going through this 💖.
